In 1822, S3 cases were from intemperance. 

 1823, 22 from do. 



In the reports, the old and recent cases are distinguished from 

 each other. We are not able, however, to make the ensuing ta- 

 bles perfectly complete, in consequence of the deaths or elope- 

 ments not being in all cases referred to one or the other. They 

 are generally added, without reference to the length of the illness.
